My Thoughts
This is the second book that I have read on Pinterest and I am slowly getting into the habit of visiting the site and "pinning" each day. The site is definitely addictive and very pleasing to the eye.
The first half of this book covers the basics of getting started on Pinterest and how to use it. This is very useful information for beginners on Pinterest.
I found the sections that listed the different kinds of businesses that are using Pinterest, the most "Pinteractive brands" and the "power pinners" to be very interesting. I now have a list of people and companies that I want to follow and learn from.
I thought the step-by-step plan for using Pinterest to market your business was very, very helpful. As a matter of fact, I think this list was the highlight of the book. It is a very good summary of the book and will be a significant help as you get your feet wet on Pinterest.
I have one complaint about this book. I read the book on my Kindle and found the digital formatting to be lacking in quite a few places. One page had two words on it. Many pages just had two or three sentences. I think this problem could be corrected and the book would be much more pleasant to read.
My Rating: 4 Stars Out Of 5
